Mastenges

18. Paijo the brondong

The typhoon came with two cups of coffee that he had just made in the kitchens of Pongki employees. Typhoon placed two cups of coffee in front of Pongki. He sat down in front of Pongki.

"Thank you Jo,"

"God sir, equally," Sahut Typhoon with his shy smile that became typical of himself as Paijo.

"Sir boss is fine, right?" Ask the Typhoon with a gloating face.

Pongki looked at the Typhoon and smiled. Then, he shook his head weakly.

"Why boss?" Ask the Typhoon again.

"I'm sure you already know. Why are you asking?"

Typhoon bowed in shame, when he heard Pongki's words.

"Jo, you're not married. As hard as it may be for your wedding, never double up, Jo,"

The typhoon raised its face and looked at Pongki closely.

"Geh sir boss," said Typhoon.

"I love Berta very much. He is like an angel in my life. But, my stupid decision, got me dragged into a nestapa hole. My marriage is in danger of breaking up. But I still want to keep Berta." Pongki began to tell her about her household problems.

Typhoon strives to be a good listener to Pongki who is actually the target of his surgery.

"What do you think I should do Jo?"

Typhoon was silent, he was confused as to what. He has no experience of marriage.

"You're confused huh, I'm asking like this?" Pongki asked, with a laugh that fooled himself.

"Hehehe, little sir," said Cyclone.

"Jo, if I can't keep my marriage, I'm asking you to take care of my wife and daughter Jo,"

Typhoon frowned, he did not understand why Pongki was so confident in him who had just worked a few days together with the man.

"Why does the boss believe me?" Ask Typhoon.

"Why, I'm sure you're a good person."

Degggg...!

The typhoon again felt guilty and let out a long sigh.

"I'm sure, sir boss can maintain the household of the boss sir," said Typhoon.

"Where are you sure?" Pongki asked curiously, as he grabbed his coffee glass and sipped the hot coffee slowly.

"Because I am sure, the love of kanjeng mami, as much as the love of the boss sir to kanjeng mami."

Pongki rounded his eyes and looked closely at the Typhoon.

"Is that so? So, how can I maintain my marriage?" Ask Pongki again.

The typhoon again let out a long sigh, then he smiled kindly at Pongki.

"If the boss proves that the boss is worth fighting anyway in my opinion."

"meaning?" Pongki still did not understand the words of Typhoon.

"Start to gain the trust of kanjeng mami back, boss sir. If the boss loves kanjeng mami, try the boss to forget the boss's second wife. Then, try sir boss started to have a lot of time with kanjeng mami. Vacation for example, dinner together, romantic-romantic kayak first again boss sir. Anyway, treat your kanjeng mami like the one and only that..."

Pongki was wide-eyed, smiling widely and shaking his head, a sign he could not believe what Typhoon had just said.

"You're smart too Jo... Learn English from where are you Jo?"

"Ah, boss sir could have... I used to be taught by Caucasians who stopped in my village boss sir. So, I can litle litle her English," Typhoon said, blushing in embarrassment. In fact, his heart was racing, because he was afraid Pongki was suspicious of him.

"Great you Jo! This is the kind of employee I like!" Pongki said excitedly.

Then they started telling me a lot of things. Of course a little bit, Typhoon became more familiar with Pongki. Typhoon also began to ask about what efforts Pongki had. Slowly but surely, Typhoon issued little by little his skills as a case investigator. Of course, that was all unnoticed by Pongki.

They talked long enough, until night began to change in the morning. At exactly 2 in the morning, Pongki left Typhoon's room, and thanked Typhoon who had been willing to stay up late just to listen to him.

Pongki returned to his home with a distant feeling of lightness. He really admired Paijo. Even so, for him Paijo is very meritorious for himself who is in desperate need of support at this time.

..

"Paijoooooooo...!" Shouted Bella, in her yard, when she realized Paijo had not prepared a car for her.

From the direction of the pavilion, Typhoon was seen running towards Bella, with wet hair, a sleep-deprived face and clothes that looked untidy.

"Your misery?"

"I-i-iya non sorry ya non."

"Can't you?" Bella Cecar.

"Yes non, last night I couldn't sleep" Typhoon said, lying.

"Hmmm, yes, take me to college. I want to grab a toga, " Bella said, stepping inside her car. The typhoon just nodded and entered the car.

From inside the house, Berta was seen running to call the Typhoon.

"Joe....! Jo...!" Call her.

The typhoon that was just about to start the engine of his car also abandoned his intention, then he opened the door of his car and rushed out of the car.

"Yes kanjeng mami...?"

"Later in the afternoon, we'll go to the mall, right?"

The typhoon looked awkward with the question posed by Berta. While Bella who heard the words of her mother also frowned and followed out of the car.

"meaning? Don't tell me you like this rancid mas-mas!" Bella said with suspicion.

"Eh.. You carelessly Bella, mami wants to go to the mall there is a need. All mami's gonna buy Paijo a new suit."

Bella grew suspicious when she heard what her mother said.

"New clothes? Wh-wh-what for? Mami wants to dance him like that brondong?"

"Hus! Indiscriminate. Mommy's not that crazy Bella! Mami just wanted to say thank you to Paijo. He's been good with us, yesterday he wanted to cheer us up..."

"Some.... Paijo was already considered as his own child," continued Berta while smiling as usual to Typhoon.

The typhoon raised both eyebrows and looked unpleasant to Bella.

"Huh?" Bella did not believe what she had just heard from her mother's mouth.

"Well, mami has been exposed to the magic of Masteng nih.., can not be allowed!" Inner Bella.

"It's noon, right?"

"Yes" Berta said.

"Yes, I'll be with you in the afternoon. I don't want him to be my stepfather!" Bella shouted as she went back into her car and slammed the door of the car.

"Duh. kanjeng mami, non Bella so misunderstood. I will take it later in the afternoon, but I wait in the car just ya kanjeng mami," said Typhoon with a face that was wrong.

"Ck. already, ignore him. Indeed, his mind is always suudzon only," said Berta while smiling sincerely to Typhoon. A mother who loves her child so sincerely.

There's actually a reason why Berta loved Typhoon. He was missing his first son who was gone.

Apparently, when she followed Pongki to the man's village, Berta was pregnant with her first child. Because, all things are limited in the village, coupled with the limitations of the Pongki economy at that time. Berta and Pongki could not save their prematurely born babies.

They had to take away their first child, whom they gave Bryan his name, for granted. Their unfinished problems add up with Berta's parents, who demand Pongki to succeed first, before marrying Berta.

Yes, the baby was born outside of their marriage. The greatest sin they ever committed when they were together fighting for a blessing.
